How does searching fail? Which search do you use and did you make sure you searching in the correct area (like Entire Library instead of File List)?

The letters are the same size here on upgrade. You might want to check Tools > Options > Skins and check that Font Size is set to 100%. Also you can switch skins to get something that is more to your liking.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. This only 6 days discount is one of the tricks to make people decide to upgrade. I did sadly, foolishly, without having thoroughly read through all the pros and cons.

Now I can't even search by artist or genre.

and I have a effing migraine from the small letters.

Do I regret this move.

Right, but earlier in the thread:

I never got the discount offer, so I'm asking how I can get/use the discount offered for the MediaMonkey Codec Pack.
Probably what happened is that the users that were offered a discount coupon and had a lifetime license had also previously purchased a 2.x or 3.x license.

As I understand it the intent was only that 2.x and 3.x license key holders were offered coupons for upgrade.

I don't see a place in the codec pack trial to enter my code. Are you saying it won't expire in 30 days because of the MM4 license?

How can you complain about this? You paid for a 3.x license, which is clearly only good for version 3.0 through 3.9. You were not promised any discount for future versions (4+), you should count yourself lucky that you're offered any discount for any amount of time at all.

I'm in same situation and I agree. 6 days is not enough time to evaluate so I'll have to decline. :(

Then you're not entering a Lifetime license. Did you buy a 3.x license and then upgrade to a Lifetime license?

@ Lowlander - thanks!

it seems i'm not able to upgrade to MM4 Gold because when i go to MediMonkey Gold > Enter Registration Code and then click OK it's saying this:

'old v3.x license isn't valid for v4.0'

so even though i have lifetime Gold level, i guess i'm stuck on MM4 Standard Edition unless i pay for MM4 Gold. bummer.

I'm a gold owner, so I don't expect free upgrades. But I do expect more than 6 days to make the purchase at the special price and I expect the special price to be lower than what is available to everyone on Black Friday.

Lifetime license holders don't have to pay for the upgrade to MediaMonkey 4, however they can use the discount offered for the MediaMonkey Codec Pack.

i received the same upgrade coupon and when i clicked through, it put me in a shopping cart with something i had to buy - MM4 and some MM Codec Pac. i was annoyed i had to pay for the upgrade as i'm a lifetime gold member. so i went to the main MM site and proceeded to download mm4 without any issues.

so, my Help>About does say i have MM4 version 4.0.0.1459 Standard Edition. so yeah, i have MM4, but it looks like i'm not getting all the MM4 Gold Edition features - is there enough features to upgrade or do i stay on the Standard Edition?

thanks,
